Amedeo Modigliani. Amedeo Modigliani was an Italian artist known for his unique elongated style of portraiture. Characterized by lengthened limbs, almond eyes, and swooping noses, the lasting influence of sculpture—particularly African masks—was prominent in the renderings of his subjects, including his wife the painter Jeanne Hébuterne.
In 1909, after meeting Constantin Brancusi, Modigliani began to produce sculptures by carving into stone, completing about twenty-five works throughout his short career. The style of these abstracted, elongated heads is echoed in his subsequent figure and portrait paintings.
